Hockey India to conduct level 1 course for Indian coaches

New Delhi, May 10 : Hockey India, in close association with the International Hockey Federation (FIH), will be organising the FIH Academy - Hockey India Coaching Education Pathway Level '1' Coaching Course online for Indian coaches starting from Monday.

"A total of 9 candidates have enrolled for the FIH Academy - Hockey India Coaching Education Pathway Level '1' Coaching Course, which will be held between May 11 2020 to May 15 2020," Hockey India said in a statement. Each of the candidates' competency will be assessed and will be awarded an FIH Level '1' Coach Certificate at the end of the course.

The standard of the Hockey India Coaching Education Pathway Coaching Courses is impeccable, therefore, it was best not to delay the FIH Academy Level 1 Coaching Course if it could be conducted online, said Mike Joyce, FIH Membership, Education & Development. FIH believe it is important to work with all top hockey nations across all areas of the game. Education is one of the four pillars of Hockey4Life, our global development programme. Hockey India President Mohd Mushtaque Ahmad expressed satisfaction that the Indian coaches can use the lockdown period productively and improve their skills.(UNI)
